Juneteenth has an underlying sadness for me in that the same evil which enslaved Black people for an additional two years after the Emancipation Proclamation lives on today in the form of Greg Abbott and a cowed and corrupt GOP legislature whose only mission is to oppress everyone else in the state.

Gonna take a social media break. Please remember that you belong wherever you are, and don’t stop caring and watching out for one another. Each other is all we have. Luckily, that’s everything.

The USA was a world leader—arguably THE world leader—for my entire life. Seeing us relinquish that role at the whims of a psycho and his enablers (whose long-term goals are not clear to me) makes me sad.

With the problem of child sexual abuse material on the X platform escalating, a nonprofit that works with tech companies to provide technology that can detect and address child sexual abuse content, has terminated its contract with Elon Musk for lack of payment. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

A group of voters in North Carolina, and a coalition of voting and civil rights orgs seek to intervene in a federal lawsuit that wrongly challenges the eligibility of more than 200,000 voters in North Carolina. The Brennan Center is representing them in their fight.  Read:

”SHE IS AWAKE.” ICE, y’all in danger, girl.

Melissa Hortman was a leader’s leader. I watched her do the right thing over and over again. I’m so glad people are getting a chance to know a little something about our friend Melissa.

Again the goal is to arrest any Dem official who tries protect the basic rights of their city’s residents

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

It is so difficult to break from “this is the way we’ve always done it.” Proud of the NAACP for not volunteering itself to be beclowned by virulent white supremacists, Trump and Vance. Kudos to the NAACP person/people who were able to successfully persuade in this direction.

Now we know why he's been going after Apple.

Vatican: Pope Leo will go to Castel Gandolfo for a “period of rest” from July 6-20, then again from August 15-17. Leo will not stay in the papal palace, which was turned into a museum by Francis, but in Villa Barberini. www.ilmessaggero.it/en/a_summer_...

What. What is happening…. Who am I? Where am I?

For all the screams of “TYRANNY!” from elected GOP under Biden, not a damn one of them who joined in J6/joined the attempted coup, or engaged in other criming, have ever been wrestled to the ground/arrested for the actual traitors they are. They faced ZERO consequences, yet still yell, “TYRANNY!”

I see a lot of clear lawbreaking here in this video and none of it is coming from Brad Lander. ICE is out of control and several of these agents need to be under criminal investigation. Being a federal agent does not give you unlimited jurisdiction and does not allow you to break the law.

Another tremendous light gone from from this world far too soon. Stop this week, I want to get off. people.com/anne-burrell...

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from refusing to issue passports to transgender and nonbinary Americans nationwide that reflect their gender identities, after finding it was likely unconstitutional reut.rs/4noRoSH

And then they declare the POTUS cannot be held accountable for anything because, “WAR PRESIDENT.”

Don Tramp is singing, 'bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran"

It’s a mad, mad, mad world.

There's nothing immutable about the existence of ICE. It was founded in 2003. U.S. agencies carried out immigration enforcement and border controls before it was formed. Given the evidently lawless way its agents keep acting, one can see the case for its dissolution growing.

Outrageous and out of control.

In all things, Trump is a degenerating degenerate.

Have had people “pooh-pooh” me when I’ve suggested in five years time organic critical thinking skills might be non-existent due to AI.

He is deeply unwell.

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

Cuomo bringing out the best of New York. I helped organize this beautiful space, and seeing Lindsay’s daughter crying because this disgusting dirtbag was yelling vile things to her and her mom was deeply sad. That’s to @lindseyboylan.bsky.social and your daughter for the courage.

No-one takes the decision to flee their home from persecution, with little more than the clothes on their back, unless their life depends on it. That’s why our approach to refugees must be rooted in compassion, empathy and humanity. Not division, prejudice or scaremongering.

VERY IMPORTANT CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS on the articles being widely shared concerning the 2024 election and lawsuit in Rockland County, New York. Corrections by the entity bringing the lawsuit. The article was misleading on a number of factors. smartelections.substack.com/p/kamala-har...

23andMe, which became a household name for its genetic testing services, is set to emerge from bankruptcy as a nonprofit. www.statnews.com/2025/06/13/2...

What words to describe? Shocking. Devastating. Horrific.

He cheated.

John Fetterman: "The Big Beautiful Bill, I'm going to vote that down. I could never support cutting Medicaid, or cutting SNAP. I'm never going to be a part of the 40 trillion club." Bill Maher: "Well, John, you don't seem crazy to me."

That Trump and Musk shut up at the exact same time tells me what they have on each other is SERIOUS.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia pled not guilty in court today. The hearing reviewed "evidence" presented to the grand jury. That evidence was proven to be laughably impossible to completely unprovable. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Each stick has to be placed just right in the nest. There isn't much known about the breeding of the Agami Heron, but that's going to be much easier now with this amazing new rookery discovered in northern Costa Rica. We've watched the birds collecting material and working on their nests. #birds
